A vibrant gecko sits amidst flowers basking in warm sunlight, set against a lush, natural background evoking tranquility.

Encontrei este pequeno cão estranho à porta de casa

Perguntei à parceira se podíamos ficar com ele

Mas ela rejeitou a proposta

so for years and years everyone on the correct side of the #tech politics spectrum has been weary of #mozilla foundation but also aware that the ... like 2%?... market share that #gecko holds among web engines is the only thing left from giving away the entire internet to google and apple.

whats keeping anyone from forking gecko and developing it separately? if the community rallies around it, then all the non-corpo aligned #foss browsers can build on it (significant proportion of them already do) and granted we have to give credit to mozilla but at least we don't have to constantly chase and disable every ai product they try to shove into their updates.

what am i missing?

Non-Gecko (Firefox), non-Blink (Chromium) and non-Webkit (Safari) browsers:

Servo (browser engine)

Ladybird

They don't seem ready for use yet though.

Should we ditch Firefox? And replace it with a Firefox fork?

Always could use more!  :3

I often defend #Mozilla in the wake of their various misguided ventures because I view them as the sole force for good remaining in the browser space. Some few scruples are a small price to pay to ensure #Gecko lives on and hopefully grows user share again, which would be good for the web as a whole.

This though... this sounds bad. I think this needs clarification and probably rewording very quickly.

#Firefox we need to talk,
or #DevsOfMastodon what are your issues with Firefox?
I really like Firefox(#GUX, #GUI, workflows etc), and I've always agreed that we need an independent #browser alternative to #Chromium, but I didnt think it was this bad: https://youtu.be/mmjUlFIaNLE?t=136
Sure take that video with a grain of salt, but I think he has a point.
@firefox@lemmy.world @firefox@lemmy.ml I really hope @firefoxnightly can finally start catching up!

#Herpetology friends, can someone suggest a good warming lamp for a cornsnake and for some leopard geckos? I've become a long-term caretaker of one snake and three geckos and my house is too cold for them and the owner didn't give me any lamps. If possible I need lamps under 100$ so I can fundraise for them. I'm worried about them.

As I was talking with a friend, he told me about a cool security feature #OpenBSD has got. That is, limits scope of the browser. In the case Javascript escaped the sandbox, the damage is limited.

But really, is there a security bug in #Gecko or #Webkit with which Javascript can escape? :)
